[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2502677, member: 15929"]And the rhetoric "pushes on"! I have YET to find a retail outlet or business that was equipped to handle silver as a form of payment. My guess, is that ammunition would have far greater value should some anarchal catastrophy hit the country or world. Probably followed by water, food and gasoline. You see, in times of "need" people trade what they don't need for what they DO need. Silver has no real value other than ornamentation and the perception of antibacterial properties such as use in "silver"ware which hasn't happened for better than 6-7 decades. The US (and the rest of the world) stopped using silver in coins because the metal had high demand for "other" industrial uses (film, integrated circuitry) which caused it's price to exceed the face value of coinage which in turned contributed to coin shortages. Precious metals as currency are LONG gone and any speculation in that direction is simply folly.[/QUOTE]
